Characteristics of Reiki - Hyakuten Inamoto Sensei
*Once you are initiated into Reiki, Reiki healing ability will be all yours for the rest of your life. *No specific training and experience necessary. *Reiki energy will flow of its own accord (You cannot direct or manipulate it). *No conscious focusing (a mind concentration) is necessary. *A Reiki practitioner is not in danger of taking on other's negative stuff (energies). *Reiki is a very compatible with other modalities of healing. *Reiki can work on all beings (humans, animals and plants), and works on all levels: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual. *Reiki is not a belief system (religion) at all. *Reiki, the love, harmony and power to heal of the universe, does help and guide you to develop your spiritual growth, for Reiki Ryoho is a spiritual path and practice. *It is REIKI that does a fine job of healing, not you. (You, as a Reiki practitioner do not do any healing, but you are very essential for Reiki healing. Without you, Reiki cannot work.)
*The farther from the ego, the purer the Reiki channel will be.
